Construction has been an industry characterised by disputes; fierce competitiveness and fragmentation - all major obstacles to development. Now; however; a relationship-based approach to project procurement; through partnering and alliancing; aims to bring about a fundamental change. This book addresses the critical relationship issues for a more collaborative and sustainable construction industry. It looks at how project procurement and project alliancing partner selection works; and how risk and crisis resolution are managed. It provides readers with guidance and models on how to put a relationship-based approach to procurement into practice; drawing on specific prototypes from an actual; successful project that can be adapted.

It provides insights into trends and innovations of the period as well as thought provoking design ideas. The homes are beautiful and picturesque; but have limited baths and very small bedrooms and kitchens by todays standards. Ive enjoyed exploring color specifications and materials lists also provided on many of the plans. Apple green seems to have been a favorite color.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
